Drunk men sit and lie on the floor of a holding cell in the Police Building, Denver, Colorado. Several men are passed out on the floor. Trash and cigarette butts lie near their bodies. An African American (Black) man sits with his back against the wall and his head bowed. Two young men sit on either side of him with their arms crossed and heads lowered. A man who sits against the wall smiles a toothless smile.
